Primary Identifier | MGI:103574 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 218038 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphatase binding activity and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within learning. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; photoreceptor ribbon synapse; and presynaptic endocytic zone. Is expressed in several structures, including allantois; brain; genitourinary system; liver; and septum transversum. Orthologous to human AMPH (amphiphysin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation of this gene exhibit learning deficits and synaptic vesicle recycling defects, and die between 2 to 5 months of age from rare irreversible seizures.
